TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 55

Chapter 55: How to Level Up

Xie YunChuan took them to scavenge in every small city they passed. During this time, they encountered many low-level zombies and quite a few level one zombies, but they didn’t encounter any level two zombies again. Perhaps these places were too small, making it difficult for level two and above zombies to appear so quickly.

Xie YunChuan deliberately trained Gu Tangxi’s abilities to help her improve her powers. He gave her all the low-level zombie crystal cores. When she said she wanted to level up with Gu Tangyue, Xie YunChuan didn’t have any objections. He gave her the crystal cores, and how she distributed them was her business.

Two months passed in a flash. After these two months of practical training, Xie YunChuan had mastered his upgraded powers very skillfully. He also deliberately trained and researched various new skills, both single-attribute and combined uses of two or three powers.

He didn’t use the level one crystal cores he had collected during this time. He planned to save them up and absorb them after his current upgraded powers were more stable.

He wasn’t in a hurry to give them to Luo Shuyou either. The end of the world was fraught with crises, and he had to prioritize ensuring that the combat effectiveness of others steadily improved before considering feeding crystal cores to Shuyou to see if it would benefit him.

From the beginning, when they got into the car to travel, Gu Tangxi and Gu Tangyue had told Xie YunChuan that they wouldn’t go back to Half-Moon City, and that they would follow him from now on. Anyway, they had no ties in the base, and they had no loyalty to the base leaders, it was just a temporary shelter.

Xie YunChuan had long planned to recruit them, so he readily agreed to take them with him. His only requirement for them was that no matter what, they could never harm Luo Shuyou at any time, and they had to do their best to protect Luo Shuyou.

Gu Tangxi and Gu Tangyue happily agreed. What kind of request was that? They wouldn’t harm Shuyou anyway, and they would definitely protect him!

Xie YunChuan explained his concerns to them. Of course, he believed that they wouldn’t harm Luo Shuyou now, but he couldn’t guarantee that Luo Shuyou would never attack them.

His request to them was that Luo Shuyou’s condition was unstable. If he really became a mindless, bloodthirsty, and aggressive zombie in the future, he hoped that Gu Tangxi and Gu Tangyue would try to protect themselves as much as possible and not actively harm Luo Shuyou.

Hearing him say this, worry appeared on their faces. No one wanted Luo Shuyou to become like that. How cute Shuyou was now, even if he was always like a child, they definitely didn’t want him to become like other zombies.

However, the end of the world was unpredictable, and the development trajectory of many emerging things was impossible to explore, so no one could predict Luo Shuyou’s future.

They expressed their understanding. If there really was such a day, they would take the initiative to run far away and would never list Luo Shuyou as an attack target like other zombies.

They were still too naive at this time. When that time really came, it wouldn’t be a matter of whether they would harm Luo Shuyou, but whether Luo Shuyou would spare their lives.

No matter what happens in the future, at least now, the four-person team was officially established, and their revolutionary friendship seemed unbreakable.

For more than two months, Gu Tangxi would divide the crystal cores equally between Gu Tangyue. Not long after Gu Tangxi leveled up to level one, Gu Tangyue was surprised to find that she had also evolved, and her power had been upgraded to level one. The most obvious change was that the space had more than doubled.

She was ecstatic. Change was good, proving that her path to becoming a god was not a castle in the air. She believed that as long as she continued to work hard and constantly try, there would always be a way to change.

Shuttling back and forth between multiple small towns, destroying batch after batch of zombies, and using her powers with great proficiency, it was time to find an opportunity to upgrade her powers.

Gu Tangxi felt that her whole body was full of power and she was about to break through, but she just felt blocked and couldn’t find the vent. She didn’t dare to blindly continue absorbing crystal cores, so she had to stop.

She recalled the process of upgrading from beginner to level one. Too many things had happened along the way, and she didn’t know exactly what caused the breakthrough.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and qualitative change requires specific conditions. What were they?

Gu Tangxi told them about her confusion and asked Gu Tangyue if they had the same problem. Gu Tangyue didn’t know. She said, “Mine is just constantly absorbing crystal cores to level up. You see, I don’t have any attack power, and I haven’t done anything. I just follow you guys and collect things. I’m just a bag carrier. What breakthrough opportunity could I have?”

Pass on this one, it’s not representative. Then she looked at Xie YunChuan with eyes full of thirst for knowledge, hoping that he could give some useful advice based on his experience.

He remembered clearly how Xie YunChuan upgraded. He broke through in one fell swoop after collecting the ball on the river, and even his ice power was upgraded by two levels. He didn’t hide anything and took the time to tell them about what happened that day.

He didn’t know the specific principle, but that’s just how things were.

Gu Tangxi was saddened. Okay, none of them were useful. She was sure that her own upgrade method was different from the other two. Three people had three different upgrade methods. Which one was the normal and universal one?

What was frustrating was that she hadn’t figured out how she had upgraded before, what a killer!

Gu Tangxi teased Luo Shuyou in frustration, “Does our awesome Shuyou know?” Luo Shuyou turned around in Xie YunChuan’s arms in disgust, leaving her a cold back.

He didn’t speak much. Apart from Xie YunChuan, it would take a lot of effort to get him to open his mouth, even with coaxing and deception, like a timid child who was wary of strangers.

The White Tiger Cub was moving around in the passenger seat, wanting to jump back, shouting excitedly in its heart: I know! I know!

Unfortunately, it couldn’t speak.

Gu Tangyue held the steering wheel with one hand and pulled it back to the seat with the other, “Little White, don’t move around. You have to pay attention to driving safety, understand?”

The White Tiger Cub sat back angrily. Okay, it didn’t know. Humph! Even if it knew, it wouldn’t tell you bad guys. You tied it here in front and wouldn’t let it play with its little master, how excessive!

Actually, it was just that it and Luo Shuyou were making too much noise in the car. The small space was made like a playground by them, and they couldn’t be stopped, so they were separated to the passenger seat and restrained with a seat belt.

The effect was significant. Losing the crazy little partner, Luo Shuyou could sit quietly in Xie YunChuan’s arms without making a fuss.

After a while, Xie YunChuan said, “Since we all don’t know, then let’s go to others to find the answer.”

“Where are we going?” Who would know, Gu Tangxi was worried!

Xie YunChuan took the newly found map and pointed at it with his hand, saying, “Half-Moon City.”

Gu Tangyue didn’t forget to join the discussion while driving seriously, “We just came out of Half-Moon City. I haven’t heard of anyone having any upgrade secrets?”

Xie YunChuan said: “Several months have passed, and things are changing rapidly in this special time. Maybe there will be a surprise discovery when we go back!” When you can’t find the answer, going to a crowded place is the right thing to do.

Regarding this matter, more people means more cases. With accumulated quantity, even if you try and make mistakes, you can try out seven or eight points of the answer. There will always be gains.

Remove the outliers and take the common items. The largest number is most likely the correct answer.

Xie YunChuan had another purpose in going there. No matter how small it was, it was a base, and there should be people doing research. He needed to learn more about the end of the world.

Gu Tangxi frowned. She was worried about another issue. Would those people let Gu Tangyue go with them after returning to the base?

Don’t think that Gu Tangyue doesn’t like her power. It’s just that she doesn’t realize how popular the space power is. There are many people who want to fight to keep one by their side.

Although she didn’t belittle herself, she wouldn’t be complacent either. She knew that the biggest, and possibly only, reason Xie YunChuan was willing to take them was Gu Tangyue’s space.

She said weakly: “Brother, we might not be able to get out once we get in!”

She didn’t stay in the base for long, and most of the time she was out looking for supplies, but she knew that the people who could become leaders of a base in the end of the world, how could they be good people or idiots?

Would he release Gu Tangyue, this mobile granary, amicably?

Maybe even Gu Tangxi would have to be left behind.

The team members who came out with her except for Wu Yunbin and Zhou Zhongxiang were all dead, and those two guys probably have a hard time returning to the base alive.

People at the base might think that they are all dead now.

Xie YunChuan was confused, “Who told you to go in?”

Gu Tangxi crashed, “Ah? Didn’t you just say you were going to Half-Moon City to find the answer?”

“Do you have to go in to find the answer?” Xie YunChuan rolled up the map and made the final decision: “I’ll go myself!”

Gu Tangxi understood clearly that Xie YunChuan was really taking them because of Gu Tangyue’s mobile space.

He had to take care of Luo Shuyou and needed a backpack, and with a mobile space, he didn’t have to break into the city to collect food from time to time.

For these conveniences, he was willing to escort them to upgrade.

When there was no need, taking them was also a burden.
